Hello, I screwed up and killed a bunch of autostart features - it helped my PC running Windows in a number of ways, however plex no longer auto starts. I just downloaded it and reinstalled but plex doesn’st start and I don’t even remember where it was - registry, services, msconfig, startup folder…

[image] Add "autostart on logon" option to Plex For Windows Feature Suggestions Thank you, but I already know about this, I want a built-in option.

Have you tried to simply enable the autostart option from the PMS icon in the system tray? In case it’s already checked… disabling and re-enabling the option might do the trick. [PMS context menu in Windows System Tray]

Thanks!! I never noticed that - I’m a tool! I’ll try that.

I admit I kept thinking I’ll test and verify but never got around to it but after multiple reboots, I can confirm this didn’t work for me. [image]

Click the Windows button, type startup, click on startup apps, click On next to Plex Media Server. [Capture]

Thanks - I don’t see it there. I’ll try to figure a way to put it back.

That link is about the native Plex Player app for Windows, not about the server.
